ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SPECIALIST – Be involved in approval of Victoria's most exciting emerging gold-antimony project.
Hybrid | Full-time, Permanent | Melbourne, with travel to Kilmore & Benalla Dynamic Greenfields mining approval
SXGC is exploring one of the most exciting new gold and antimony discoveries in Australia, with our flagship Sunday Creek project moving from exploration towards development and future production. The quality of our environmental assessments and approvals will shape what we can build and when, and we're looking for an Environmental Impact Specialist who can coordinate that work and test it hard before it reaches a regulator.
Why SXGC?
Because your work here matters.
You'll join a growing ASX and TSX-listed explorer at a pivotal stage, helping take Sunday Creek through environmental impact assessment and statutory approvals. Here your judgement carries weight: you'll have real input into project design and the independence to question the technical work behind every application.
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Strategic Planning and Permitting, you will coordinate and project manage environmental impact assessment and statutory approvals activities, including the preparation of project approval applications and supporting documentation. Working closely with the project team, technical specialists and regulatory agencies, you'll support project development and the timely delivery of approvals. A core part of the role is critically reviewing and constructively challenging technical impact assessments, so that specialist studies are robust, defensible and fit for regulatory scrutiny before they inform an application. That means testing methodology, assumptions and baseline data across diverse areas such as ecology, hydrogeology, air quality, heritage and transport, and not taking consultants' advice at face value.
What You’ll Drive
🔸 Scope environmental impact assessments and project manage multidisciplinary studies, coordinating specialist technical input
🔸 Critically review and challenge technical impact assessments, including methodology, assumptions, baseline data, impact significance and proposed mitigation, and test consultants' advice
🔸 Prepare permitting documentation under the Environment Effects Act, Planning and Environment Act, Environment Protection Act, Water Act and Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act, and know how those different laws apply together
🔸 Draft and compile application documents (project descriptions, referrals, work plans and variations, planning permit and licence applications) that are complete, well supported and easy for decision-makers to assess
🔸 Review studies and approvals documents before lodgement so they reflect the current project design and consistently capture findings, mitigation measures and commitments
🔸 Work with the operations team to refine project design in response to assessment outcomes
🔸 Manage approval timeframes, milestones and dependencies with project management and the project scheduler
🔸 Receive agency feedback, assess the adequacy of technical responses and coordinate resolution with specialists and the project team
🔸 Build relationships with councils, government agencies and referral authorities, and support regulatory meetings, briefings and technical workshops
Who You Are
You're a sharp, detail-minded approvals professional who can pick up a technical report and see where it is weak. You're confident questioning consultants and specialists, constructively rather than combatively and you communicate clearly with project teams and regulators. You enjoy the detail of legislation and keep many moving parts on track.
Your Background
✔ Tertiary qualification in environmental science, environmental engineering, planning or another relevant discipline, or another tertiary qualification supported by relevant environmental assessment experience
✔ 5–10 years' relevant experience in environmental impact assessment, environmental approvals and/or project management
✔ Strong technical attributes in environmental impact assessment, with a demonstrated ability to review and critique technical impact assessments and specialist studies across diverse areas such as ecology, hydrogeology, air quality, heritage and transport, and the legislative environment
✔ Experience coordinating specialist technical studies, project managing multidisciplinary assessments and integrating outcomes into project documentation
✔ Demonstrated experience preparing project approval applications and supporting documentation for regulatory assessment
✔ Sound understanding of Victorian environmental, planning and project approvals legislation, including the detail of how different Acts apply (Victorian EES pathway experience highly desirable)
✔ Strong technical writing, review and document coordination skills
✔ Demonstrated ability to engage effectively with project teams, technical specialists, government agencies, councils and referral authorities
✔ Mining, quarrying experience is desirable but not essential
